About Me

月日は百代の過客にして、行き交う人もまた旅人なり

Hello Couchsurfing friends!
I’m a mobile app developer living in Hachioji, Tokyo.
Some pictures in my profile were not taken in my current address, but in previous address.

I’m addicted to play Duolingo that helps me learn foreign language. French, Espagnol and Deutsch are my current learning languages!
Especially I’ve been learning French for one year with Duolingo. i’d be happy if native french-speaking couchsurfers teach me native French :)
Ça fait deux ans que j’apprends le français, mais je n’ai pas beaucoup d’opportunités de parler avec les gens français. Alors Duolingo est mon ami qui me parle XD
Ça me ferait plaisir si vous m’apprenez le français. j’adore les musiques françaises, par example, l’impératrice, The shoes, Chien Noir, Clara Luciani, Ehla, Elephanz, Part time friends, Pomme. Et j’aime regarder des séries françaises sur Netflix, « Call my agent », La révolution , Lupin, Plan cœur , Zone blanch, etc.
Summer 2022, I have traveled to France and been there for 2 months! It’s a wonderful trip for me to spend such a long time abroad and sometimes with local Couchsurfing friends!

As a host;I'm looking for an opportunity to share with culture and welcome people from all over the world to make them feel more comfortable staying in Japan. Of course I’d like to make friends:)
As a guest;I’d like to know a lot which I never know while I’m living in Japan. For example language, atmosphere, nature, people, and local lifestyles which are never the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
